Description

Simply a model source illuminating a fluo/powder/sx sample.
The default sample itself is an LaB6-powder.
The idea is to compare the fluorescence and diffraction patterns:
- index=1: use PowderN              (no fluorescence)
- index=2: use Single_crystal       (no fluorescence, slower, powder mode)
- index=3: use FluoPowder           (exact)
- index=4: use Fluorescence         (no diffraction)
- index=5: use Fluorescence+PowderN (under estimates contributions)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
